Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Burrell, thank you for the groupon PSA about Donors Choose! I should go buy one or two so I could finish funding my project. The groupon link is here: [link]

Kat, what is your Donors Choose currently?

Cass, my current one is here: [link] Starting next monday they are going to match all donations that are made not through a coupon or certificate. But I still have $750 to go and I'm struggling.

(Was it you reading Stiff? Mom brought her library copy for me to read while she was here for last week. I thanked her for braving the $1 fine and I finished it last night just about her bedtime. Perfect.)

I love that book! I just started teaching it again today. FUN!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

When she suffers anxiety she needs to withdraw from people to some extent. So we're taking a break from each other for a while.

Yikes Tommy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is it likely this is a temporary thing from being overwhelmed? I hope so.

I hope so too. Anyway, that's what she's thinking.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I hope so, tommy -- too-much-people can be a powerful force.

And Monica, if you're reading along, don't feel like you ever need to speak up while you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, but do know that invisible friends are thinking of you!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm thinking of MK, sara.

Kat, have you ever read a book called Ball Don't Lie?

Donor Choose. That's on the list of things I forgot.

My SIL and an old friend are doing good at distracting me. SIL is sending gift lists for the boys, friend is spamming me with realty links (she's looking to buy) down in Knoxville and soliciting opinions. In which she is indulging my musings that are all over the place. But distraction from having to carry MK up the stairs and tuck him in.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Anyway, that's what she's thinking.

I have really felt like this and it's not forever. But it's overwhelming when it happens, so I really do understand.

Kat, better to Groupon for Donors Choose or simply just give to yours or ... ??? Can I Groupon $10 for $50 and then give it to yours? Help me help kids?

Jesse - Nov 28, 2011 4:56:00 pm PST #8959 of 30001

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Groupon deal is Chase matching 4-to-1, so you spend $10 and then get $50 to give whereever.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And Monica, if you're reading along, don't feel like you ever need to speak up while you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, but do know that invisible friends are thinking of you!

Indeed. And many good thoughts for you, tommyrot.

Somebody remind me about the Groupon on Wednesday, aka payday?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm stupid tired. Can I do the Chase Groupon and then donate it? Because if there's a bigger bang for my buck, I am there. But mostly I want to help.
